Thousands of people have paraded through the streets of Reading to celebrate Vaisakhi - the Sikh New Year. It's the most important date in the religion's calendar and a chance for people of all ages to get together. Richard Jones spoke to Gurpal Singh and Simrat Kaur

After several decades of asking, planning permission has finally been granted for a permanent Sikh temple in Oxford. The city council ordered the community to stop using a three-bedroom house as a place of worship. Now there will be a permanent temple in London Road, Headington.

The Sikh festival of Vaisakhi has been celebrated across our region. Signalling the start of the Sikh New Year, 5,000 people took part in a procession in Gravesend. Roads in the town centre were closed, allowing the procession to pass.
